in the schedule vs on the schedule

Scheduled items are written "on" a screen or a piece of paper, not "in" it, so use "on the schedule" instead of "in the schedule."

in the schedule

This phrase is not correct. Don't use it.

Use "on the schedule" instead. When events are listed, they are written "on" paper or "on" a screen. They aren't written "in" the paper or screen.

on the schedule

This phrase is correct.

An event that is part of an established timetable is "on the schedule."

(If you are saying that things are happening without delays, then they are "on schedule"--omit "the.")
